Chapter 441: Acting Separately(1/2)
Early the next morning, Wang Chong packed up his things and came to the gate of the sect.
In addition to Zhou Yunqiu and the four junior sisters yesterday, three more male disciples are waiting here.
These people are all preparing to enter the Zhongshan Forest together.
The three male disciples were all inner disciples. Wang Chong, the leader, also knew that he was the older one among the inner disciples, named Qiu Renji.
"Isn't this the junior brother who usually sweeps the floor in the martial arts training ground? He will follow him?"
Qiu Renji looked at Zhou Yunxia and was a little confused. Although the Zhongshan Forest is not very dangerous, it is not something that a disciple can enter and exit at will.
It is very troublesome to let Wang Chong follow.
"If this junior brother wants to go into the mountains to collect herbs, I will let him follow him. Junior brother Qiu doesn't have to worry." Zhou Yunxia said.
Qiu Renji looked at Wang Chong and said, "Junior brother, follow us then, and you can't run far away, do you know?"
"Disciple knows." Wang Chong didn't say anything.
Then the group packed up their things and started going down the mountain.
Wang Chong always stays at the end, not only can he keep a low profile, but his direction is the safest, so as not to be the first to be missed when encountering danger.
The ones who walked in the front were Zhou Yunxia and Qiu Renji. Both of them were the most powerful, so they were the most confident.
In Wang Chong's view, Zhou Yunxia should be stronger. After all, she is a senior sister, and her aura is stronger.
Qiu Renji's aura is domineering, but it does not mean being strong. Instead, it shows his weakness of not perfectly controlling his aura.
The other senior brothers and sisters also have their own strengths, and their strength is all about building the foundation. Only he himself is, to outsiders, just refining qi.
The Zhongshan Forest is just halfway up the mountain in Zhongshan Sect, more than ten miles north. The distance is not far, but the road is difficult to walk, and it is all narrow roads.
After more than an hour, everyone arrived at the entrance of the forest.
This place belongs to the inside of the forest. When the outside enters at the foot of the mountain, some hunters at the foot of the mountain usually enter the mountain.
Because it is inside the forest, there are many ferocious beasts here, and the so-called ferocious beasts are different from monsters.
The ferocious beast is very strong, but it has no intelligence and depends entirely on instinct to do things.
But monsters have spiritual intelligence. In a sense, the only difference between them and humans is that they are different from their bodies.
After entering, the spiritual energy here is indeed rich.
Wang Chong took a deep breath and could feel the excitement of the demon pill in his mind.
But he also knew that the better the place, the greater the crisis.
Although I am a little powerful now, I can't stay here for a long time on the safe side.
More than half an hour later, some disciples who came in began to search for their needs.
Although every disciple has protection from the sect, the sect provides basic guarantees. If you want to obtain more cultivation resources, you still need to search through your own efforts.
Each disciple has different cultivation methods, which has caused them to have their own cultivation materials they need, which is not surprising.
"Junior brother, it's dangerous to go inside. You're here, so you don't have to go in." Qiu Renji spoke to Wang Chong, then recognized the way and continued, "Some of the materials I need are probably still inside, so I'll go in first."
"Senior brother, walk slowly." Wang Chong said.
At this moment, Zhou Yunxia was the only one left by his side.
Zhou Yunxia seemed to want to go in, but she was more responsible. Considering that Wang Chong was here, she was worried that after she entered, Wang Chong would be taken away by something, which would be troublesome.
Seeing that Zhou Yunxia wanted to go in, Wang Chongqing smiled and said, "Sister Zhou, don't worry about me. If you want to go in, go in."
"This... well, junior brother, wait here, I'll be back soon."
"It's okay."
Before Zhou Yunxia left, she specially gave Wang Chong a short sword to defend herself, and then left.
"Good senior sister of Zhongshan School..."
Wang Zhong sighed in his heart, looked around, thinking that he should have left here almost as much as he should have left.
As soon as his body moved, Wang Chong ran out in a direction where no one had walked past.
He did not transform into a fox state, which was a bit troublesome. Although his body could transform, it would be inconvenient to treat his clothes on his body.
Moreover, when he turned from a fox to a human, he had no clothes on his body, which was very indecent, so he walked in a human state, but the speed of this state was relatively slow.
Due to his sensitive sense of smell, Wang Chong knew everything around him well.
Half an hour later, Wang Chong picked a lot of herbs, and even picked some herbs that were not available for the time being.
Although it is not used for the time being and the grade is not very high, the sect has another rule: taking back useful medicinal materials can be exchanged for contribution points.
Finally, in the afternoon, after eating some dry food, Wang Chong carried a bulging bow and prepared to go back.
But at this moment, a faint smell of blood suddenly floated from the nostrils.
The smell is very light. If he hadn't been an old fox, the smell would not have been smelled at all.
"Is there any situation ahead?" Wang Chong murmured and turned his head to run towards the road he came.
Now he just wants to collect herbs and leave, not wanting to worry about external affairs.
While walking, Wang Chong guessed in his heart, and didn't know where the smell of blood came from.
Judging from the taste, this taste is human. Zhou Yunxia is strong. If it were the smell on her body, it would definitely cause a lot of noise. After all, it is difficult to defeat her if it is there.
As for Qiu Renji, he also has the power to fight.
Then this smell should be from other disciples.
He said in his heart that Wang Chong had arrived at the place where they separated.
No one came back here.
An ominous premonition arose, and suddenly, Zhou Yunxia rushed out of the forest.
At this moment, Zhou Yunxia was wearing colorful clothes all over her body, looking extremely embarrassed. Wang Chong's expression changed. Just as he was about to hide, he heard Zhou Yunxia shouting sternly: "Why are you still here?"
You didn't let me hide!
Wang Chong turned his head and said with a cold face: "Where should we be if we are not here?"
"Didn't Ayu tell you?"
Ayu is a young follower of Zhou Yunxia.
Wang Chong shook his head: "I haven't seen anyone since I entered the forest, what's wrong?"
"Oh no! You go quickly, an enemy is coming to cause trouble."
Zhou Yunxia shouted anxiously.
It seemed a little embarrassed to just walk like this. After sensing it, no one chased after Zhou Yunxia, so she asked: "What's wrong? I can go back and call for support immediately."
"It's a bear beast." Zhou Yunxia gasped and said with a look of ugly expression: "Qiu Renji, the madman who came here this time was to hunt bear beasts and get bear gall."
The bear beast is a ferocious beast in the forest that ranks the top strength, but the bear beast does not actively attack people. This time, Zhou Yunxia made this happen, probably because Qiu Renji took the initiative to attack the bear beast.
"Where are the others?" Wang Chong asked.
"Qiu Renji attacked a bear beast, but he didn't expect it was just a cub. Now the cub's parents are coming. I and the others have encountered each other before, and I barely retreated here, but unfortunately I was separated from the others."
"Then I'll call someone."
"Well, you go, I'm going to save others." Zhou Yunxia said, taking a pill for herself.
"If you go in now, there may be dangers. It's better to retreat with me." Wang Chong still has a good impression of this senior sister. He is not only upright, but also takes good care of his junior brother and sister very much, so he naturally doesn't want something to happen to her.
But Zhou Yunxia shook her head resolutely and said, "No, as a senior sister, how can I escape alone."
Zhou Yunxia gritted her teeth and persevered, but the blood on her body had soaked her clothes.
"You go..." After saying that, Zhou Yunxia suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and then fell to the ground weakly.
It was only then that Wang Chong noticed that there were several claw marks on Zhou Yunxia's back.
"Senior Sister Zhou... you are poisoned!" Wang Chong was shocked.
Zhou Yunxia looked at Wang Chong with unconscious eyes, "I didn't expect that the claws of that monkey were poisonous..."
"Say a few less words, I'll take you away!"
Although he doesn't want to cause any trouble, it doesn't mean he does nothing. Zhou Yunxia is a good person, so he will naturally save her.
After sensing the breath deep in the forest, a violent beast seemed to come quickly.
Wang Chong hurriedly left here with Zhou Yunxia on his back.
Not long after leaving, a monkey rushed out and sniffed the remaining bloody smell in the air. The monkey let out a roar to the sky.
The roar seemed to remind something, and the sound went further and further away. Soon, a response also sounded around the forest.
Wang Chong's eyes narrowed. According to the records of the ferocious beasts such as apes, monkeys are creatures living in groups. When the ape king encounters problems, other monkeys will support him.
"I'm afraid I'm coming after the hunt."
After walking a few steps, I suddenly saw a pool of blood on the ground.
